New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area.

To enable them to treat you appropriately the doctors need the correct medical records for you. In order for these to be traced we will need to know your full name, date of birth, current and previous addresses and previous General Practitioner. You will be asked to fill out a registration form (GMS1) or to supply your medical card. This applies to each member of the family.

You will also need to produce two supporting documents to confirm these details, one of which MUST confirm your address is within the practice area.

Evidence that you are ordinarily resident in the UK and have been for 6 months (per family), eg. utility bill, tenancy agreement, bank statements, mortgage statements, council tax bill or other official/ government correspondence verifying proof of address.

If you have just come into the UK we will need proof that you intend to work or study in the this country. This is usually a work permit or supporting letter from your employer or the education provider.

NB. Please note it is at the partners’ discretion to accept you onto our list of patients.

We would like to thank you for complying with our registration policy.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

New service for patients

You may be aware that all practices are required to provide all of their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you normally do.
